Fotograf Marcin Karpowicz

—Fotogenični ste?

—I don't feel like a photogenic person.

—Kako ste ušli u svet fotografije?

—My wife's idea. We photograph the nature, when we were hiking – eventually my wife started to photograph people – finally our friend took us to photograph her wedding in Mexico – and this is how I started my journey with wedding photography.

—Šta smatrate da su ključni elementi dobre fotografije?

—moment, composition and light. You have to have those three elements in order to have perfect photo.

—Šta najmanje volite u vezi sa svojim zanimanjem?

—Uncertainty of the future bookings.

—Kakva će biti budućnost fotografije?

—Da li u fotografiji postoje trendovi?

—There is s trend to show main subjects as a part of broader spectrum. Bride and Groom are not longer dominate the photos but they are the part of the environment. In my opinion there is also strong emphasis on the verbs in the photographs – so there is a lot of action – so we can see strong interaction between two nouns by incorporating the verbs into the photos (like laughing, walking, running, jumping etc)
